In the State of the Union address last night, Bush lied through his teeth. Yet again.

Quote:

A claim made by President Bush in his State of the Union speech last night, that an attack on an L.A. skyscraper had been averted, was universally debunked as a hoax by Mayors, CIA, FBI and NSA personnel and counter-terror experts nearly a year ago when it first surfaced. By regurgitating this fraud, Bush has committed an impeachable offense by knowingly lying to the American people

.

"I didn't have sex with that woman" was a lie, for sure, but it was a one-off, and pales into insignificance with the serial lying that Bush has spewed ever since the 9/11 attacks and his phoney war on ( read "for") terrorism.

"We've never made the case, or argued the case that somehow Osama bin Laden was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming". VP Cheney, 3/29/2006. Interview by Tony Snow

Even worse than the lying is the relationship to the lying.

It's one thing to lie carefully, with the calculation that the lie will hold up and you will not be exposed.

Bush lies casually, when it really isn't necessary, because it's easier to reach for an expedient lie to buttress a specious point than it is to craft a persuasive argument.

Bush makes lying into a lazy indulgence, and exposes the depths of his contempt for his listeners.

They spoke of the sayings and doings of their commander, the grand duke, and told stories of his kindness and irascibility.
